The long-awaited "joker" finally released cooked meat today, but was disappointed after watching the movie impatiently. During the whole process, I was trying to understand the character Arthur. The first half of the film was created by the director very well, and it really evoked a lot of depression. However, from the time Arthur suddenly killed the three people with a gun on the subway, the story started. It started to get awkward. It is difficult for me to understand the motive of this behavior at this time. If this movie is to shape a story of the origin of the Joker, the previous foreshadowing alone cannot support the Joker's subsequent behavior, and there is too little description of his past difficulties. And Arthur's behavior later also shows that he is just too depressed and needs to seek a meaning, hoping to be seen, just like a child who lacks love, he does not have a higher and greater goal, nor does he want to become a symbol , he just wanted to be seen.

If this film is to express the rebellious spirit of the people at the bottom, it really describes too little society. It is only some side descriptions that show that ordinary people are not living well, and they do not discuss the reasons for it. To be honest, really disappointed. The funny thing is that the movie claims to be an independent movie, but the shadow of Batman keeps appearing in it... In comparison, the Joker in "Batman: The Dark Knight" is more charming, he is not like a criminal, he Crime is not for money or power, but more like a sociologist. He believes that the world is chaotic and the essence of human beings is dark. He wants to prove and discover this, which is complementary to the spirit of Batman.
